Israel lies, Palestinians die
Recent reporting has finally confirmed what many suspected: Israeli military officials now admit there is no proof that Hamas routinely stole UN humanitarian aid. This revelation undercuts a core justification for Israel’s brutal blockade of Gaza and the obstruction of lifesaving food, water, and medicine.
For months, the Israeli government and its defenders claimed that Hamas hijacked most aid shipments. This claim was used to justify starvation policies, the destruction of humanitarian convoys, and even the bombing of aid workers. But Israeli officials are now walking back those assertions. In fact, UN agencies and humanitarian groups have long maintained strict monitoring protocols, and the rare incidents of diversion have been isolated—not systemic.
The consequences of this false narrative are devastating. Thousands of children in Gaza have died from malnutrition and dehydration. Entire hospitals have collapsed. The Israeli siege, supported by U.S. weapons and political cover, created a humanitarian hellscape based on unverified assumptions.
This moment demands accountability. The Trump administration must stop deferring to Israeli talking points and start defending international law and basic human decency. The lives of millions depend on truth, not propaganda.
